The Regent's Little Wolf Concubine

Chapter 170
Hearing her regretful tone, Wen Qian felt very speechless, but she could be fooled away, no matter how miserable she thought about her life experience in her heart!
As long as she stops asking herself who she was before, where she lived, and who was in her family, Amitabha will be in her heart!

After basking in the sun outside, Concubine Huo really felt that her body became more refreshed. Seeing that it was getting late, she was about to get someone to prepare lunch, but Chu Nanxiao came over to pick up Wen Qian.

Although he knew that Wen Qian was with Concubine Huo and there were a few guards outside to protect him, nothing would happen, but in his heart, it was safest only if she was within his sight!
Since Chu Nanxiao came over, it was not good for Concubine Huo to keep them both for dinner. After all, Chu Nanxiao was a man and always wanted to avoid suspicion, so in the end she let him take Wen Qian away.

Perhaps because of the influence of Wen Qian's words before, when the two of them left, she told Chu Nanxiao to treat Wen Qian well and not let him down.

At first Chu Nanxiao was at a loss as to what she was listening to, but it wasn't until she saw Wen Qian turning her face away in embarrassment that she realized what was going on. Even if she promised Concubine Huo that she would treat Wen Qian well, Only then did he finally leave Lingxuan Palace.

"That. Concubine Huo kept asking about my family just now. I was afraid that she would think about it, so I told her that I have no family. She thought I was an orphan, that's why I said that to you."

Walking on the road, Wen Qian thought about it and finally told him the whole story.

Hearing the explanations from the people around him, Chu Nanxiao didn't say much, just let out a soft "hmm", and didn't know what he was thinking, there was a faint smile on his brows and eyes from the beginning to the end. meaning.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Wen Qian couldn't help but walked two steps quickly to come to him, looked at him curiously and asked, "Why do I feel that you are in a good mood after you come back? Is there any happy event?"

Seeing her running up to her to ask, a faint smile unfolded on the corner of his lips, and he said slowly: "There is indeed a happy event. Just now I went to the Ministry of Rites and looked carefully at the date. I found that there will be an auspicious day in half a month. suitable for marriage."

Wen Qian didn't even understand the meaning of what he said earlier, but the last three words made her understand.

Although she knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, when he really set the date, she still felt a little nervous in her heart, and an imperceptible emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she returned to his side and walked side by side with him.

"After half a month, that means after the Lantern Festival?"

Chu Nanxiao replied with an "um" again, and Wen Qian thought about it as she walked, and then she didn't say anything, but took his arm affectionately, and the two walked slowly in the palace corridor.

When night was about to fall, Wen Qian returned to Lingxuan Palace, preparing to go to the banquet with Concubine Huo later, but after Chu Nanxiao sent her to her, she reminded her to be more careful, and then went to Go to Qingping Hall.

At this moment, the Yonghe Palace and the Qingping Palace have been set up at the same time, and the maids came in and out with fruit trays and snacks, and they set up both sides in a short while.

An hour before the banquet started, officials and their families had already arrived one after another. Once they entered the palace, they separated into two lanes. The ministers stayed in the Qingping Hall, while the female relatives were led to the Yonghe Palace by the maids.

Before the banquet started, many female family members came to Yonghe Palace. Those who were acquainted with each other came together to talk, and those who didn't like to talk stood alone by themselves. When someone came to say hello, they just nodded slightly in response.

Accompanied by Wen Qian, Concubine Huo came to Yonghe Palace one step ahead of the Queen Mother. Seeing so many noble ladies present, Concubine Huo stood at the door and took a deep breath, then raised her head and left solemnly go in.

"Concubine Huo is here!"

Following the eunuch's loud announcement at the door, the people inside immediately stood on both sides in an orderly manner, and when the concubine came in, they saluted her in unison.

"Meet the concubine."

"You don't need to be too polite, everyone, get up." Concubine Huo raised her slender hands, and everyone immediately thanked them and got up, and then she pulled Wen Qian who was beside her to the seat closest to the master and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Wen Qian felt a look of hatred cast on her. She was taken aback for a moment, as if she had already guessed who it was, and then looked in the direction of the look, and she saw Jiang Wen. Xin's sinister eyes.

Seeing that Jiang Wenxin was here, Wen Qian couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but soon realized that she was originally the daughter of the Duke of the State, and although Chu Nan had retired, the identity of the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion was still there. There, it is normal to be able to enter the palace to have a banquet.

Less than half a cup of tea after Wen Qian and the others came, the Empress Dowager, surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs, slowly walked in from the outside, and everyone saluted for a while, until the Empress Dowager took her seat, she did not excuse them from saluting.

"Okay, let's take a seat without courtesy."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

After thanking everyone, they sat down in their seats one after another. At this time, the Queen Mother caught a glimpse of Concubine Huo who had just sat down, her eyes changed slightly, and she finally looked at that side and said: "This is really strange today, it's time to come What should have come has come, and what should not have come has also come.”

"Concubine Huo, don't you always feel unwell? Why don't you rest in your palace today and come here too?"

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Concubine Huo's face was unmoved, she just turned slightly to face the Queen Mother, and said: "The Empress Dowager is worried, the concubine's health has improved a lot these days, so I want to take advantage of today's special visit to express my gratitude to the Queen Mother." Thank you, Queen Mother."

"This really puzzles the Ai family. The Ai family doesn't remember being kind to you recently." Tai Hou's tone was calm, but his heart was already full of doubts.

She had already asked someone to put the weed of bitter disease beside Concubine Huo, logically speaking, she should be too sick to get out of bed now, but seeing her rosy face today, she didn't look sick at all!

"A few days ago, my concubine was so sick that she was almost unable to get out of bed due to the cold. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was considerate and specially asked someone to loosen a set of pillows and quilts."

Speaking of this, Concubine Huo paused for a moment, and seeing the slight change in the eyes of the person in front of her, she said again: "It's strange to say that after putting on the pillow quilt, the concubine's illness is getting better day by day. Because of the blessing of the empress dowager."

After listening to her words, for a moment, the queen mother's face became a little ugly, but before others saw it, her face quickly returned to normal.

She really didn't expect that Concubine Huo knew that she had tampered with her, and came here to say thank you!snort!I'm afraid that Xie En is fake, but it's true if you want to hit yourself!
Thinking about it this way, the Queen Mother closed her eyes, and said lightly: "The Ai family doesn't remember such a thing, but since your body has recovered, it is also a good thing, you should pay more attention in the future, don't relapse What's wrong?"

"The concubine knows, thank you, Empress Dowager, for reminding me."

After the two of them finished talking, the banquet officially started. The palace ladies and eunuchs brought up the delicacies prepared by the imperial chef, because the palace was no different from their own home, and everyone seemed more reserved.

The maid serving on the side peeled the shells of the shrimp and put them in the bowl in front of the Empress Dowager. Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager picked up the chopsticks, picked them up, dipped them in the prepared good sauce, and put them in her mouth.

Halfway through the banquet, the queen mother had almost used it, and when she glanced towards Concubine Huo, she noticed Wen Qian beside her, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Who is this little girl? Why doesn't the Ai family seem to have seen it before?"

Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Wen Qian exchanged glances with Concubine Huo, then stood up calmly, saluted respectfully, and said, "Little girl Wen Qian, see the Queen Mother."

"Wen Qian?" Upon hearing this name, the Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly, and she glanced at Jiang Wenxin who was at the side. Seeing that she was thinking about something with her downcast eyes, she looked at Concubine Huo again.

"Are you the Wen Qian whom the regent personally went to the palace to ask for an order to marry?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, yes."

"Hehe, at first when the regent came to the palace to ask the emperor to ask for an order, what kind of woman did Aijia think she was, who could fascinate the majestic Prince Xiao so much? She didn't want to be a little girl. The regent's thoughts are getting more and more people. Hard to guess."

There seemed to be some meaning in the queen mother's words, and everyone looked at Wen Qian one after another at this time, guessing in their hearts.

Jiang Wenxin recovered from her thoughts at this time, and when she heard the Queen Mother's words, she turned her head and looked forward, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty, the regent's eyes are always very high. , I think Miss Wen must have something special."

From the moment she opened her mouth, Wen Qian expected that she would definitely not say anything good. After hearing what she said, she immediately understood what she was thinking, but she didn't say anything.

After listening to Jiang Wenxin's words, everyone thought it was very reasonable after careful consideration. At this time, the Queen Mother even took this opportunity to challenge Wen Qian.

"Although the daughter-in-law of the royal family does not necessarily have to come from a famous family, she still has to have this talent. I wonder if you have any extraordinary talents that you can show off."

Concubine Huo originally wanted to speak for Wen Qian when she heard this, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she held down her hand, and then she heard herself say to the queen mother: "I will tell you the truth, the little girl was born in a village, and she knows all kinds of vulgar things. It’s really hard to be a refined artist.”

When she said this, ridicule began to appear on the faces of everyone, as if they had expected that she would not have much talent.

After all, she also said just now that she was born in the countryside, what can this country girl know?Of course, there is no need to think about playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is probably an expert at chopping wood and carrying water, but she can't be allowed to perform chopping firewood and carrying water in front of the Queen Mother, right?

Seeing that everyone present was laughing at her secretly, Wen Qian was not angry at all. She turned her eyes to Jiang Wenxin again, and with a sweet smile, she continued: "It is true that what Miss Jiang said just now is true." wrong"
